Today is Wednesday, January 21. We’ve been home since Friday, we got the grandbabies Friday night and they went home Monday night. When we were taking the girls home they were singing songs to Papa and I. About 2 years ago we recorded a Cd for the grandbabies. On the CD I sang songs that I’ve been singing to them and songs that I used to sing to their mom. The girls were singing these songs to us. Songs like “Mares eat Oats” “Love can build a bridge”, “In my Daughters Eyes” and “Truck Drivers Sweetheart”. Gator sings “Twinkle, Twinkle Lucky Star” and “Help Pour out the Rain” on the disc. Our 7 yr old grandbaby “Miriam” said; “you know which one is our favorite?” and I asked which one? All three girls in unison said; “Help pour out the rain”! Then Miriam said: “You know what our favorite part is? It’s when there’s no music playing and you can just hear papa’s voice!” Then our 5yr old granddaughter (Tirzah) quietly said; “I will never, never, never, never forget papa’s voice.” Of course Papa and I started crying. Papa told the girls when he gets his voice back he and the girls are going to record that song together!span>

(UPDATE: Gator got his voice back 3-17-09 and recorded the song! http://www.gatorsjulesr2at.blogspot.com)
